off the site aaages ago, but the royal mail cocked up the delivery and they never arrived, and i never got around to sorting it out, so this is a nice settlement! amazing magazine, been an immeasurable influence on my taste in music, shame it had to end!

Truly missing Plan B as it is, but I only started reading at issue 9 so this gives me another eight issues' worth of new stuff to read.

In issue 11 or 12 (I think, the one with Long Blondes on the cover) there's an absolutely excellent interview with Final Fantasy and an article about dubstep circa 2005, back when it was still in its South London ends. Still one of my most thumbed issues of any magazine ever.

I enjoyed it a lot - I didn't realise he'd disowned it but I thought it was quite revealing, especially about the sort of stuff that inspired He Poos Clouds. Certainly gave the album a bit of context for me, as there hadn't been many in depth interviews with him at that point. Also, I seem to remember being very impressed with the term 'nerdfox'.

Miss AMP's interview with Grinderman was one of the most amusing ones I remember from Plan B - four big, beardy men giving her hell for suggesting it was a midlife crisis album.
